so yesterday afternoon i ate at zed's in georgetown with tanya. it was OKAY. the one fat hostess/server was absolutely terrible and needs to be fired immediately. she had the WORST attitude and zero manners. our other server though, with the accent, was fantastic, attentive and a pleasure to be served by.
The first major turn-off is the menu it states "an additional $7 charge will be added for those who share an entree." EFF THAT GARBAGE. what if i wanted to split 3 appetizers and an entree? that is just blatant poor customer service from the start.
the food was good- but traditional Ethiopian dishes tend not to vary so so much in my opinion (though i'm no expert). tanya and i got Chicken Doro Watt ( Tender chicken, red pepper sauce, spices served with hard boiled egg) and Beef Kaey Watt ( Beef cubes simmered in Ethiopian red pepper sauce, flavored with spices). we both enjoyed the meal.
it was a bit pricey compared to other ethiopian restaurants but you ARE paying for outdoor seating on M street.
do i reccomend it? why not. would i go back? probably not- i'd rather go to Dahlak Restaurant (1771 U St. , NW Washington DC 20009 Phone: 202-332-6435 Near 18th St. and Florida Ave. Ethiopian/Eritrean. Pool table. 3pm-12:30am M-F, 4pm-2am Sat-Sun)
This place is MUCH more authentic. Its nicer than most Ethiopian and Eritrean places on U street. FOOD IS FANTASTIC. They have INSANE beer specials with your meal (i think it was and 5 beers for $10). Great local bar and restaurant.
